-It prints a **clickable sign-in link**. Open it in a browser signed into the account you
-want to add, approve, and paste the code back into the same prompt. The sign-in screen
-asks only for *"Contribute to your Claude subscription usage"* (`user:inference` scope) —
-that's intentional: the token can run `claude` / `claude -p` and nothing else, and it
-draws on the subscription, never API credits.
+This runs the **normal full Claude Code login** — the exact same
+`claude auth login` flow the app itself uses (`claude.com/cai/oauth/authorize`, full
+Claude Code scopes). A browser opens (or a sign-in link is printed); sign in to the
+account you're adding, approve, and if a code is shown, paste it back. It draws on the
+subscription — never API keys.
 
-You don't have to pass the email — the command reads the authenticated address back from
-the account and registers under that. The account is registered **only after the sign-in
-is verified** — an aborted or failed sign-in leaves nothing behind, and a duplicate email
-is refused. The captured token has a ~1-year lifetime, is inference-only, and does not
-rotate → it works on the Mac **and** the server with no cross-machine refresh races, so
-the account is usable everywhere the moment `add` returns.
+Using the full login on purpose: it does **not** hit the *"Sign in again to continue"*
+step-up wall that the narrow long-lived-token grant triggers, and it stores an
+auto-refreshing `.credentials.json`. That credential is **machine-local** (never synced),
+which is what keeps two machines from invalidating each other's refresh token — so an
+account you `add` on the Mac runs on the Mac, and you `add` it on the server (over SSH) if
+you want it there too. The account is registered **only after the signed-in email is read
+back**; an aborted login leaves nothing behind, and duplicate emails are refused.

-`status` warns when a token nears end of life; re-run `login` for that account.
+Use `--token` when you specifically want one account usable on the server via the Mac's
+sync (the ~1-year inference-only token that mirrors over). For everyday adds, the default
+full login is smoother. `status` warns when a token nears end of life; re-run `login`.

 Both accounts currently in the pool are live and verified: acct-01 (support@gowalkae.com,
 Mac) and acct-02 (hasan@gowalkqa.com, server) — each adopted from its machine's existing
 login, so each runs on the machine that holds its credential.
